    Network Admin Salary

    in Business and Enterprise IT

    Posted · Edited by harrison

    I would say around $50.000 to $68.000 a year. With experience that would easily go up to $70.000+++

    That's way too high, but it depends a lot on where you live (and experience level). Network Admins that I've known typically make 30-50k / year for a network as small as 100 computers. Network Admins at very large corporations (like Coca-Cola or something) can make more, in the 50-80k range, but you need experience, and you're dealing with a much more sophisticated infrastructure.

    It's very easy to outsource a lot of administrative functions these days, so keep that in mind when searching for a job and negotiating salary.

    Education

    Honestly, I think that a traditional education is going to provide the most value. Studying something like computer science is probably the best way to go because it opens more doors and give your the skills that you truly need to understand how computers work on a fundamental level, which of course is necessary if you want to do any sort of reverse engineering or bug hunting. Certs are worthless.

    That being said, I dropped out of school, so my advice is pretty useless.

    The US is too big to see it all and enjoy it in a small amount of time. If you're going to be on the east coast you gotta hit up NYC, Philly, and D.C. On the west coast San Francisco / Silicon Valley, L.A., Las Vegas. If you get a chance to explore I'd recommend New Orleans and Austin. I make a point of going to Miami every year at least once, it's very difficult to have a bad time there.

    I think it depends on the size of the company. For smaller to mid-sized companies it's more economical to hire internally. But these days all the large companies are outsourcing the IT department. Even if the service isn't as good, it makes sense economically, and they have someone to point the finger at

    I don't drink and I don't play VideoGames!

    Alright... seems like when it comes down to computers and all the geek stuff...

    two things always shows up "Games and Beer"... alright three things "... girls".... alright i meant "porn".

    Anyway... so you know I don't drink, neither play Video Games and dislike porn; and yes I like women.

    So what's wrong with me? or what's wrong with you guys?!

    just to "demythologize" the whole understanding or the sick logic that follows the world of geeks and computers. It's not always about games, neither beer, nor porn.

    Instead of gaming, go for a bike ride

    Instead of drinking beer, try some water, it's good for you

    Instead of watching porn, get a girlfriend and enjoy a relationship

    Having issues with yourself is one thing, excusing it just for the sake of being cool and be in the computer business, is even worse.

    Alright, I am going get some water... :arrow:

    Awww, how cute

    Guns?

    I'm American, don't own a gun, but I have fired guns before. It's pretty fun, however I do believe that better gun control in the U.S. may cut down on crime.

    However, I really agree with Chris Rock's stand, which is better bullet control. Why not make every bullet $5,000, then you wouldn't have any innocent bystanders, hahaha. People would think real long and hard before firing a bullet.

    This is halarious.

    However, I am a firm believer of using the correct tool for the job. You can't use LISP and ASM for everything, heh. But it's certainly true that LISP coders are rather pompous. Of course, I'm a C nut, and I have (from time to time) talked shit on C++ among other languages, haha so I can't really talk.

    C++

    Visual C++ has a lot of extra functons and libraries that Microsoft included so that you can really easily incorporate M$ stuff into your code. For example, the ability to make a nice looking M$ gui really easily, and utilize some of the features of Windows.

    That's the main difference between Visual C++ and the original concept of C++.

    Visual Studio .NET has a lot of different stuff. I can't really begin to explain everything, but it's basically a huge framework for developing applications. So it's very far from simply your programming language. In fact, you can spend more time learning Visual Studio than you spend learning the programming language, because there are so many features.

    As for C#, it basically is Java. I had never coded a lick of Java in my life, but I had to learn C# for a project at work, and after finishing that up I ran into some Java code, and without doing any googling I was able to read, edit, and write my own Java code because it was so incredibly similar to C#.
